Keane Enjoys Roma Run-out

Will Keane says he is enjoying working under Manchester United's new manager and coaching team, and was delighted to get a run-out in the 3-2 win over AS Roma.

The striker came on at the break as the Reds ran out 3-2 winners in the International Champions Cup match in Denver, as part of Tour 2014, presented by Aon.

Having the chance to play in an attacking role alongside Chicharito is something the youngster relished and he's aiming to build on a solid first week of training in the United States as the Reds head into the second week of the tour.

"It was good to be involved in my first game back and it was a good work-out overall," Keane, whose brother Michael also featured in the second half, told ManUtd.com. "We're disappointed with the goals we conceded in the second half but it was good to get a run-out and I'm sure we'll feel the benefits for it.

"[Before I came on] the manager talked to me about the shape [of the team] and where he wanted me to be with the ball and without the ball. He told me to make sure we stretched the game because there was a lot of space in behind so I tried to do that as much as possible.

"It's really good to play with different players and whoever you play with in this team brings so much quality. I enjoyed having the chance to play with Chicharito up front. He's good to work with, as is everyone. They all complement each other so it was a good experience."

The Reds head to Washington DC on Sunday ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Inter Milan, who lie second in United's ICC group after their penalty shoot-out win over Real Madrid on Saturday.

"When you play for Manchester United, you want to test yourself against the best - we're getting a chance to do that and it's going to stand us in good stead for the start of the season. We're all raring to go and ready to face the challenge," added Keane.

"The tour's been a really good experience overall and I was pleased to get a run-out [against Roma] - I feel better for that in terms of pushing on during the second week of the tour. It's been good working with the manager and all the staff and I just want to push on now."
